It's been hard to feel the Christmas spirit this year. Pain from EDS keeps me from doing all the things I used to do and takes the fun out doing what I can do. In Arizona you have to try a little harder to get into the Christmas spirit because we often enjoy 60 to 70 degree weather which is Spring or Summer weather for some people up North.
But, there are a few signs that tell us that Christmas is near, such as:
 |
| A sprinkling of snow on the Four Peaks mountains just north of the valley. |
 |
Citrus ready to pick. Last year we had a lot of little oranges, this year we
only got a few, but all of them are large. |
 |
| Some rain clouds in what is usually a cloudless sky. |
 |
There's nothing like going to see the lights at the Arizona Mormon Temple to put
you in the mood for Christmas. |
